Totally 'ain't no hollaback girl'

As we're driving home from school she asks me if I would teach her how to type on the computer. She can spell and use one to play games so I said when she could spell more I would. Her reply "I can spell" followed by a list of words that she could spell followed by the phonetic pronunciations. it went something like this ....
I can spell easter, ee-st-r
I can spell bunny, buh-uh-nee
I can spell dog, duh-aw-guh
I can spell ain't no hollaback girl, a-n-tuh nu-o hu-l-r buh-ah-k guh-r-l
I can spell stop, st-aw-puh
I can spell go, guh-o

It took everything I had to not bust out laughing at the seriousness with which she was sounding out these words, and to just drop that song lyric in there like it's an everyday 3 letter kindergarten word about did my mom seriousness in.
For those of you who do not find this to be amusing and instead wonder what kind of mother I must be for her to know such filth.... when my sister lizzie in texas calls it is her ring tone, and my daughter can memorize an entire song in about 5 listens.
lucky us :)
